“And we, who have always thought
of happiness as rising, would feel
the emotion that almost overwhelms us
whenever a happy thing falls.”
– Rainer Maria Rilke, “Duino Elegies: The Tenth Elegy”
When they sit in silence, they sit with you…
When they lay in thought, they lay with you…
When they breathe in deeply, they breathe with you…
When we are alone, we are with you…
When I am with you, I am with me…
Alone
With you.
Alone. In solitude with
Me. Alone in solitude with
You
With me
With you
Alone.
